1st Segment: INTRODUCTION
Q1: Can you please introduce yourself and your background, also introduce the Team working on the OMNI project?
ANS: Sure thing My name is Emanuel Hernandez but most people know me as Manny Hernandez. I am a Direct Response Marketer at the Core. After finishing my time in the USA Army where I served with the 5th Special Forces Group I dedicated myself to build technologies geared towards lead generation for fortune 500 companies.
In 2014 I started Mining Bitcoin and in 2017 I was already an avid ICO Investor with a deep technical knowledge of how Decentralized Ledger Technologies can trully help humanity.
In the begining of 2018 after reading a hacker noon article the idea of OMNI came to mind. I spent 2018 and most part of 2019 working with our CTO Boban and our CFO Sameer building the Model
At the End of 2019 we strarted Building the Omni app and is currently on an Alpha Stage wiht Beta ready to be released in Q3 2021.
Q2: Can you introduce the OMNI project, what critical problems does it solve that existing solutions are not solving and what's the competitve advantage?
ANS: Omni is a never-been-done-before mega social media app, that's full of world-class features and tools.
Inside the app, you can go live, share stories, create channels, chat with other users, video or audio call, sell or buy products in stores, create videos and photos with special effects, and much more. All of these in-app actions are rewarded with Omni Coins that can be used inside the app or exchanged on a DEX.
Social Media has become unmanagable for most people. Very hard to keep up and mantain active profiles in all of them.
but the reality is that most users are in each one for specific Features.

2nd Segment: LIVE Questions
Q1: The security and protection of users data is very paramount to users in projects like this. What kind of security protocol does Omni use? How does Omni secure call and messages for users? And how are posts, videos and user data encrypted?
https://twitter.com/KurangaHA/status/1366749789141032967?s=19
ANS: Audio or video calls, as well as chat messages to other users, use State-of-the-art end-to-end encryption (powered by the open-source Signal Protocol) to keep your conversations secure.
Social Media posts like Videos, posts, and other customer data in the platform are encrypted using SHA-256 encryption Algorithm and hosted on decentralized environments, preventing the system from having a central point of attack.
Q2: I love all the amazing features that the omni app is coming with, but I'm more curious about its buying and selling. Does a user need to go through a KYC to be able to buy or sell on Omni app? Also, is payment to be made with any cryptocurrencies or strictly Omni token?
https://twitter.com/jakenoinc/status/1366717034629898246?s=19
ANS: Great questions. Since OMNI is at the core and the currencie that would be accepted in these stores no KYC is needed but if in the future we add any traditional fiat optiosn then the user would have to do KYC in order to enable those options.
Q3: Omni plans to monetize users' efforts spent on their social media, but, do you have all the perfomance advantages of big platforms like TikTok like easy-to-use, wide variety of filters and content and highly customization of taste?
https://mobile.twitter.com/Zurox16/status/1366598479137693697
ANS: Is important for people to understand that we are a Social Media App first not a Crypto coin with an app in the middle (like others). Our goal is to deliver a Smooth UI/UX that makes the user feel at home. We are also an AI company and we have 4 different AI Algorythms working on differnet parts of the app to deliver a Personalized OMNI Feed that is enjoyable and keeps the user engaged.
Here we dive deeper into that topic
Omni App - Where is the Value: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UA8HSZAAGDU.
Q4: I love that the chats on OMNI are end to end encrypted. However, I'm a little more worried about OMNI wallet. How secured is it? Would I be able to hold other tokens/coins on it outside OMNI tokens?
https://twitter.com/purifyucha/status/1366714686637551624?s=19
ANS: OMNI Blockchain Tech was built on top of Substrate by Parity Technologies. The same Tooling Framework used by Polkadot. We are not inventing a wallet we are tapping in already secure and existing opensource wallet technologies for the integration. Users would be able to move their Coins to any Polkadot type wallet of their preference.
Q5: OMNI means everywhere So tell us What's your plan for global expansion of your project? Do you have any master strategy for this? Please tell us. Thank you
https://twitter.com/IPSAmitGoyal/status/1366755730959732738?s=19
ANS: We have the best Marketing Team in house. Is my forte and we have a well defined plan inhouse that we cannot cover in full. Some of the things that our team is workign on are.
PAID MARKETING
Directly targeting customers via Direct Response Marketing using in-house marketing technologies and other conventional methods based on their interests or intent. TV Ads in all Major Networks is also plan of this strategy
GUERILLA MARKETING
Aggressive campaigns of influencer and peer-to-peer marketing, involving influencers on college campuses, Growth hacking. to reach the target audience on each country. We get the Influencers of each Country to join first then follow with Traditional Campaings in all Local Platforms of the country we plan to penetrate.
INFLUENCERS OUTREACH
Thanks to our Influencer/Brand matching engine the technology would serve as a great incentive that our Outreach Marketing Team would use to convince Celebrities and Influencers with well-established communities on other social media platforms to move over into the new people-driven Omni Social Media App.
Q6: Some digital platforms have made it clear that they sell or use their users' data. What are OMNI's principles in this regard, how will you ensure the confidentiality of user data?
https://twitter.com/metin8688/status/1366757905391878147?s=20
ANS: We plan to do the exact same thing facebook, TikTok, Twitter and all others do. We will use the best AI technologies to ensure we deliver an ads platform that keeps the users engaged with our ads without feeling intrusive.
Companies will never stop monetizing your data no matter how much people push against it. At Omni we belive that you are the true owner of that economic value that is being generated thanks to your data and we plan to transfer that value back to you in the form of Omni Coins.
Q7: The Omni coins has multiple uses and one of them is making purchases on the app buying from merchant stores, is this an integrated function of the platform? Can be connected to big stores around the world and then ask for shipping?
https://mobile.twitter.com/ari_tulip/status/1366581549467127808
ANS: This Function is integrated. We plan to partner with Major Brands that would list their latest collections to be sold right inside the App. For example a Brand like Loreal can List their latest Make Up, then using our Influencer/Brand Matching engine they can hire makeup influencers to make Sponsored Videos of their latest collection. Users can buy right from the store from the influencer post giving the brand a pletora of analitical data about how well that influencer campaing performed. We will save major Brands Millions on unnecessary Advertising costs.
CONCLUSION:
Thank you So much for having me in your Community.
It was a true pleasure and I hope that Omni is of the likening of you all.
